I was planning on testing Wed. at 10 dpo, but I will probably test tomorrow (9 dpo). Does anyone know how to use a opk as a clue to pg?
I'm so happy this 2ww will be over soon.

All I know about using OPK's as HPT is all here on this site Pee On A Stick ~ OPK's as HPT's I hope it helps! Best of luck to you!!!Quote:

At what dpo are you going to test?

I really don't want to be disappointed and I figure as long as my AF is not here, then there is that possibility I might be pregnant, so I am not sure. If I do probably at 10dpo or 11dpo, unless I cave sooner, but of course I only have 1 FRER left and I know the Clear Blue Easy Digitals are not that sensitive, so I don't know what I will do. I am just hoping to feel some cramping or something. Did you cramp any yet? and did you have a implantation dip yet if you are BBT charting?
I don't chart, so I don't know my temps. I have felt some twinges in my uterus, but just a few. I know what you mean about not wanting to test too early and be disappointed. If I test before 10dpo, I will have to give myself the big pep talk about not believing negative results, not getting down.
I really hope this is our month-- I definitely have a good feeling about it for all us girls with the daisies in our avatars!

Good luck mydream...hope to hear your bfp!!!!!!!!!
ahhh I feel like I am going crazy ...I just want to know if I am pregnant or not already
mydream, I am right there with you.
I am 10DPO and got a BFN this morning. I feel totally defeated but on the other hand there is that nagging feeling that I didn't time O correctly. I don't temp., just use opks and O pains to estimate O. I had O pains CD 11-13 and a positive OPK CD 12 AM, so I assumed my LH surge started the night before, and O was CD 12. BUT, I could have O'd CD 13 just as easily. That would make me only 9 DPO today.
There is a part of me that says "what in the world were you thinking - you're 40 - it will take forever to get PG." The other part of me says I am just testing too early.
The days and hours are dragging on, and I feel hyper-aware of all the little girls and babies around me. I am going to try to stay off GD and get immersed in a book or activity.

Thanks mydream!!! It's so nice to be in this together :heart:
We dtd CD 5, 6, 7, 9, 10 and 12. Positive OPK was CD 12 in A.M.
mygirl and mydream how long have you been ttc? me about 2 years and I am so over the TWW!
I started my HT journey a year ago. I know this is only my second month ttc naturally but I feel like all I have been doing is waiting and waiting... Its been a long and painful year for me. I am extremely emotional this AM...like I could cry in a second...Quote:

Mydream, those darn hormones make us crazy! I am sorry you are feeling like you could cry. I understand completely. It has been a hard journey for me as well. You would think after 4 boys, I could get pregnant easily, but no, this daughter is taking forever, so in my mind I keep thinking that is the reason, because it will be my pink dream finally. I don't want to test at all. I thought I would be biting at the bit dying to test, but I not because I just feel like I will be disappointed again.Quote:

mydream, I am with you! This is so frustrating! My doctor calls it "the funky forties" and said that everything does the opposite of what you'd expect. She said the big thing is to have patience....I'm trying, but like you said it's so so hard! Kraizy, 2 years? I am in awe of your patience and perseverance -- that is amazing! Oh I hope you get your BPF this month, you sooo deserve it!
So I've been a little MIA. I had another chemical last month :( So that makes 2 chemicals in 3 months, since I stopped swaying. I guess the positive part is that egg & sperm are meeting...but they are not sticking. I've been told that at 40 someething like 40% of conceptions will miscarry due to genetic/chromosomal/old egg issues. They tested my progesterone at 7dpo last month and it was 23.4, which I guess is ok. My cycle is regular so they don't think it's the problem, no issues with spotting, LP is 13 days. My doctor says it's just a matter of waiting patiently for that good egg to come along...and that the chemicals are probably due to chromosomal abnormalities. She said I could have an ultrasound to see what the follicles look like before O (how many are there, how mature, etc) but I couldn't bring myself go this month...I honestly don't know if whatever I would learn from the procedure would be helpful at this point. If I learn that my fertility isn't so great which is what she said to expect at 40, It might just make me feel worse and give up hope all together.
I'm pretty sure I ovulated yesterday since CM changed from EWCM to watery, but not 100%. I decided this month to try and relax, no OPK testing...I honestly don't think it's in the cards for us at this point, but I'm going to try a bit longer. As much as I would love a little girl to join our family, I'm leaving it in fate/Gods hands, and would just feel so fortunate to get a healthy babe at this point!
Let's hope April is our month!! GL ladies!! :cheerteam:
That was SO SWEET. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!! I am praying for you as well!Quote:

I pray this works for ALL of us...being 39 S**KS!!! I wish I hadn't wasted a year of my natural fertility on HT....so sad :(
When I went for my 21-day progesterone test yesterday, I mentioned to my OB nurse that I thought I was getting too old to get pregnant, pushing 40 and all and she looked at me and said, "oh, no you are not, we have a lady pregnant that is 49....49"! I about fell out of the blood stick chair! So this being said, we can do this again! Time is not in our favor, but it can still happen at 49 for sure. I have never known anyone that old personally, but my nurse telling me this made me feel like we all still have a chance at our pink dreams. Don't give up, cause after two years I still want my daughter more than anything and I am not giving up.
Rooting and praying and cheering you all on! We will make this happen!!!!
wow -- 49? That has to be pretty unusual. Thanks, Kraizy, for sharing that...it does give me hope! GL on your progesterone tests results!!!
and thank you mydream for also pointing out the positive that 60% of conceptions should be good...so maybe it is a matter of just waiting for the right egg! Try not to regret the past, you were genuinely trying another method of conception and had no idea if it would be successful or not. The good thing about the longer we wait to conceive is that from what I've read something like 2/3rds of the babies of women over 40 are girls. So odds are getting even better for us :)
Praying for all of us that we get pink BFPs this month!
Hi girls, I'm not all the way caught up yet- been offline a day and a half due to migraine.
I got a BFN today so I went ahead and took my strong migraine drugs (Relpax). I feel sooo much better and actually happy about bfn, because I was so sick. I think the waiting while having so many pg symptoms was what made me crazy this 2ww. I dont know why I had such sore boobs, they aren't sore today.... AF is due in 2 days. And daily headaches that never subsided... Stupid Tylenol never works for me.
This is my first month TTC, and we had so many attempts, O pains were super strong and boobs so sore later, I really had myself convinced I was PG! I might need to change my name to KraisyGirl LOL.
Just want to let you know girls, I'm praying for you all to get BFPs. :heart:

Mygirl- sorry you are suffering from migraine..I hope you feel better and the meds give you some relief. Maybe it was too early to test. I would not count yourself out just yet. I am keeping my fingers crossed for you!
awww, mygirl -- headaches/migraines are the worst! hope you are over the worst and feel better!!
I haven't tested yet today...I just don't know if I am gonna do it or hold out
Did you test, or decide wait? I know, always a tough decision!! thinking of you....
decided to wait..will test Sunday (tomorrow) for sure... wish me luck PLEASE!!!!Quote:
